Types of Motion

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
Types of Science Investigations

Students will distinguish between descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations.
Experimental Design

Given investigation scenarios and lab procedures, students will identify independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and control groups.
Protein Synthesis

The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.
Cell Comparisons

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.
Introduction to Plate Tectonics

This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.
Human Impact

This resource can be used, in conjunction with best practices, for Tier I classroom instruction.
Introducing the Atom

A resource to be used for Tier I instruction for the introduction of the structure of atoms.
What’s Trending with the Elements?

This resource, aligned with Chemistry TEKS (5)(C), provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students using the periodic table to identify and explain trends.
Scientific Notation

Given quantitative data students will express and manipulate chemical quantities using scientific notation.
Dimensional Analysis

Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using dimensional analysis.
Cell Specialization and Differentiation

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.
Significant Figures

Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using the correct number of significant figures.
Scientific Reasoning

Given information extracted from current events, news reports, journal articles, marketing, or promotional materials, students will evaluate the claims for validity.
Survival of a Species

Given scenarios, illustrations or descriptions, the student will describe how long-term survival of species is dependent on changing resource bases that are limited.
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will predict the shape of molecules based upon the extent of the electron pair electrostatic repulsion.
Chemical Bonding: Metallic Bonds

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.
Nomenclature: Covalent Compounds

Given descriptions, diagrams, or scenarios, students will write and name the chemical formulas of binary covalent compounds.
Ionic Bonds: Electron Dot Formulas

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model ionic bonds using electron dot formulas.
Moles and Molar Mass

Given descriptions or chemical formula of a substance, students will use the concept of a mole to relate atomic mass to molar mass.
